We carry the latest blue light protection, Blutech!

​What is Blue Light?
Unlike UV, which is filtered by the cornea and crystalline lens, blue light is the highest energy light that actually makes it to the back of the eye.

Where does blue light come from?
You encounter blue light in everyday activities. Fluorescent lighting, electronic screens (phones, tablets, computers, TVs, etc.), and the sun emit damaging high-energy blue light.

How does blue light affect us?
  • Blue light suppresses melatonin, melatonin is the body’s natural sleep hormone. Blue light, especially before bed, disrupts the body’s internal clock.
  • Chronic sleep loss may have health consequences including weakened immunity, ADHD, type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease and cancer.
  • Blue light contributes to Digital Eye Strain, which symptoms include dry eyes, blurred vision, red or pink eyes, burning, light sensitivity and headaches.
  • Blue light being the highest energy light able of reaching to the back of the eye, may contribute to long term vision macular damage (AMD).

How does Blutech work?
BluTech Lenses filter high-energy blue and ultra-violet light using ocular lens pigment derived from the auto-oxidation of 3- Hydroxykynurenine (3-OHKyn).

The ocular lens pigment is then combined with melanin and isolated in a durable material.
